Purchasing Guidelines

DoIT Number: A departmental DoIT or “D” number containing account-specific funding information. Easy to set up and easy to use!

Funding strings: Account-specific numbers that can be used if a DoIT number is not an option. Contact DoIT Billing for information.

Purchase orders for non-UW–Madison departments, state agencies or other entities can be sent to: DoIT Billing, 1210 W. Dayton Street, Madison, WI 53706.

Purchasing Card (ProCard): VISA card assigned to designated UW employees and tied to University funding. Please note: The University pays 3% processing fees on credit card transactions. Set up a free DoIT Number and use it instead of a ProCard to keep campus costs low.
